Enhancing the Thumping Stick!

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the selection and receiving rewards: Invisibility Pill *3, First-grade Enhancement Pill *3, Nine-star Dou Venerate Pill!"

Upon hearing this voice, Xiao Lang's suspended heart finally relaxed.

With the Nine-star Dou Venerate Pill, he would be invincible in the Jia Ma Empire.

Finally, he wouldn't have to live in constant fear of encountering those who courted death.

At the same time, three enhancement pills were also in hand. He wondered how much they would strengthen his exclusive weapon.

"Alright, you stay in the ring honestly. I'll send you back first thing tomorrow morning," Xiao Lang said, then immediately added as if remembering something, "Don't you dare absorb my Dou Qi!"

"Third Young Master, please rest assured. With the Three Souls Seven Souls Pill, I have no need to absorb anyone else's Dou Qi. I can slowly cultivate and recover my strength on my own," Old Yao said respectfully.

Facing the disciple of a Dou God, even as an eighth-grade peak alchemist, he had to remain respectful. After all, a person's reputation preceded them.

Not to mention he was currently just a wisp of a remnant soul, and the other party could destroy him at any moment.

More importantly, Old Yao was grateful. The Three Souls Seven Souls Pill was too precious to him now; it was the foundation for his return to his peak.

"Enough, stop rambling and go in," Xiao Lang said impatiently, nodding. He had completed his mission, why would he waste more words on you?

He clearly displayed the demeanor of a heartless scumbag who would discard someone after use.

However, Xiao Lang didn't care. He was a scumbag to begin with.

He stored Old Yao into the system space, as the system space could isolate Old Yao's soul perception.

This was something Mo Lang had learned after actively inquiring with the system.

"Hmm? This is actually a Spirit Gathering Ring!? And its grade is extremely high, capable of isolating my soul perception."

Old Yao felt his soul, along with this ring, being sealed in a dark space. He couldn't help but exclaim, and at the same time, his belief in Xiao Lang's identity became even firmer.

After all, the most ordinary Storage Rings started at nearly a hundred thousand gold coins, high-level Storage Rings cost millions, let alone Spirit Gathering Rings that could open up space within the body, which were priceless and rare.

They were also essential items for storing Heavenly Flames.

"Fortunately, I can move freely and absorb the Three Souls Seven Souls Pill to recover my strength to the Dou Emperor realm!" Old Yao's eyes were filled with light. He quickly took out the Three Souls Seven Souls Pill and began cultivating.

Outside.

Xiao Lang rubbed his hands excitedly and took out his exclusive weapon – the golden, glowing Thumping Stick.

"I didn't expect to be able to strengthen it so soon. It's truly exciting."

Xiao Lang held the enhancement pill in one hand and the Thumping Stick in the other, his eyes filled with anticipation.

"Right, System, is it possible for the enhancement to fail?"

Xiao Lang suddenly thought of a certain game from his past life where you had to pay to become stronger, and immediately asked vigilantly.

If the system was named Ma, he would have to reconsider.

"Don't worry, enhancement will absolutely not fail," the system stated firmly.

"That's good," Xiao Lang breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask, "How do I enhance it? After all, this is an enhancement pill, not an enhancement scroll, nor an enhancement furnace."

System: "Just place the pill on the item you wish to enhance."

(Changed to enhancement stone later for smoother flow, please don't criticize.)

"Understood."

Xiao Lang nodded and stopped wasting further words. He immediately took out the enhancement pill and his exclusive weapon.

The color of the enhancement pill was the same as his exclusive weapon, about the size of a thumbnail, shining with a golden light.

"Enhance!"

Xiao Lang pressed the enhancement pill against his Thumping Stick. Instantly, both erupted with a dazzling golden light, and Xiao Lang even heard the sound of blacksmithing.

"Clang! Clang!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successful enhancement!"

After a short while, Xiao Lang heard the system's prompt and couldn't wait to open it to check.

Golden Glowing Thumping Stick: Exclusive weapon for the Thumping Stick. A sack, a thump, and ten thousand taels of gold.

Hardness: Two Stars (Bearing range: Dou Disciple to Dou Grandmaster).

Stun Duration: Same level and below: thirty-two minutes. One level higher: sixteen minutes. Two levels higher: one minute.

Stun Chance: Same level and below: 100%. One level higher: 51%. Two levels higher: 1%.

"This is a rip-off!"

After reading the attributes of his weapon post-enhancement, Xiao Lang felt like throwing this broken stick away.

That's it?

If it weren't for my precious item instantly killing the American Big Cigar, I might as well have used the enhancement pill to strengthen my precious item.

The hardness did increase by one star, but it only improved by one realm...

Fine, I'll endure it!

After all, it was only enhanced once. With such a small improvement, he could understand.

But the stun chance and stun duration increase is only this much?

Even the chance and duration to surpass two levels haven't changed, this is a bit too much, isn't it?

You said paying money would make me stronger?

Your last name isn't Ma, it's Ding, right?

"Reinforce again!"

Xiao Lang cursed as he continued to use the enhancement pills to reinforce.

After all, cursing is one thing, but getting into it is another.

"Ding! Reinforcement failed! Reason: The grade of the enhancement pill is too low. A Second-grade Enhancement Pill is required!"

"My god!"

Upon seeing the words "Reinforcement failed," Xiao Lang almost wanted to break his Thumping Stick.

Fortunately, it wasn't a true reinforcement failure, but rather the enhancement pill's grade was too low.

"It only took one reinforcement to require a Second-grade Enhancement Pill, this is too expensive, isn't it?"

Xiao Lang felt a pang of pain.

Especially when he thought about how many First-grade Enhancement Pills it would take to reinforce to +15.

As expected, your last name is Ding.

After all, the price of a level 15 gem in Fantasy Westward Journey costs tens of thousands of RMB, and it can still fail!

Fortunately, the system said it wouldn't fail, which made Xiao Lang feel a little more balanced.

After fusing two First-grade Enhancement Pills into a Second-grade Enhancement Pill, Xiao Lang reinforced again.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successful reinforcement!"

As the golden light flashed and disappeared, the golden Thumping Stick seemed a little different.

Although on the surface, besides emitting golden light, it looked like a broken wooden stick picked up from the ground, it... was indeed a broken wooden stick.

It just happened to glow.

Xiao Lang checked the attributes again.

Golden Thumping Stick: A specialized weapon for the Thumping Stick, a sack of goods, one knock with the stick, and ten thousand taels of gold.

Hardness: Three Stars (Bearing range: Dou Disciple to Dou Spirit).

Stun Duration: Same level and below, thirty-five minutes. One level higher, eighteen minutes. Two levels higher, two minutes.

Stun Chance: Same level and below, 100%. One level higher, 55%. Two levels higher, 2%.

"..."

After reading it, Xiao Lang's mouth twitched.

Fortunately, the stun duration and stun chance for levels higher than two have finally increased.

Although it was only one minute and one percent, it also gave Mo Lang a glimmer of hope.

As long as his reinforcement level increases, he might be able to increase the stun chance!

"Ding! Detected that Xiao Yan will see Xiao Yu bathing this afternoon, triggering a choice!"

Just as Mo Lang was about to check the detailed effects of the Dou Venerate Pill and Invisibility Pill, the system's voice sounded again.

This choice made Xiao Lang's eyes light up, or rather, they were almost glowing.
